Loving Tradition more than God

The leaders of the modern church atherings can only exist because people in general are more worried about how the group sees them than what God thinks. It is easier to do what people expect than to evaluate and stand alone.

They love their traditions of men that comfort them, and they love the people who prop them up. They would rather be told what to believe than to do the work of prayer and study. The hierarchy system is popular for a reason: it allows people to become lazy and complacent.

It has always been true that the majority of people follow traditions because it makes their life easier if they "go along to get along."

 
We who have seen the carnage of the modern church thinking are rejected by someone and sometimes many people for daring to evaluate what people say and do to discern truth from error concerning scripture.

 
I have been disliked and even hated more for correcting believers with scripture than I have from unbelievers who know they don't know the scripture.

 
Since there are so many Matthew 7:21-23 people in the pews these days, we will notice more unbiblical stances than those which adhere to the Word of God.

 
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
